Restore Your Smile With Restorative Dentistry

Restore Your Smile With Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry refers to treatments that are used to restore your mouth to a healthy, functional state. Treatments like fillings, crowns, and bridges can be used when your tooth has been damaged by decay or has been affected by gum disease. When you have a tooth that has been damaged, this can lead to pain or discomfort when chewing, which can cause an interruption in your regular diet.

Restorative dentistry can help restore your smile and your overall quality of life. Here are some of the popular restorative dentistry treatments we offer:

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are a common restorative dentistry procedure. Dental crowns or “caps” are caps that fit over teeth to repair damaged teeth. They will be custom-made to match the shape of the damaged teeth. 

A dental crown is used when a tooth has severe damage, such as a large cavity. It is used to repair teeth that are cracked or chipped. It is also used when a tooth is worn down, such as a front tooth that is worn from teeth grinding.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It is made up of two dental crowns on either side of a false tooth called a pontic. The dental crowns are anchored to healthy teeth on either side of the gap, and the pontic fills in the gap. Dental bridges are permanent and cannot be removed.

A dental bridge can help restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak properly. It can improve your appearance, especially if teeth are missing in front of your smile. Dental bridges can also prevent your remaining teeth from drifting out of position.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are metal rods that are inserted into your jawbone. From there, they integrate with the bone and gum tissue, becoming a permanent part of your mouth. Implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth.

Dental implants are advantageous because they act like natural teeth. They don’t rely on the surrounding teeth for support, which means you can chew and speak normally. Additionally, they don’t slip or slide, so you can feel confident when eating or speaking. They are easy to maintain, just like your other teeth.

Fillings (restorations)

A dental filling is a restorative procedure used to repair a tooth that has minor to moderate amounts of decay. A filling is bonded to the tooth, covering the hole or cavity.

Composite resin and porcelain fillings are popular choices at Enhanced Smiles. These fillings are tooth-colored, making them less noticeable.

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure that treats infection of a tooth’s pulp, which is the soft area inside a tooth. If the pulp is infected, it can cause a great deal of pain that makes it difficult to chew or function. A root canal removes the pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and fills it to prevent future infection.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a tooth-colored resin that is bonded to the teeth. The bonding material is made of a plastic composite, which is similar in color and texture to natural teeth. It can be used to repair teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or misshaped. It can also be used to fill in gaps between teeth.
